THE POST OFFICE.
Large Net Revenue Last Year.
Some Changes.

Postmaster Green, prior to his re-
tirement from office, has been indulg-
ing in little figuring. He turned in
to the Department at Washington,
from March 9th, 1885 to June 30th,
1887, $110,350.75 revenue over and
above all the expense of conducting
the Los Angeles office. The net re-
ceipts for the fiscal year ending June
Both, 1886, were 0,419.10, and fol
the year ending June 30th, 1887, $780,
1922, an increase of $19,013.53.
With such a showing it certainly seems
that the Department at Washington
should make more generous allow
ance for the running of the Los Ange-
les Postoffice. There is an INSULT
ciety of help and the clerks are very
poorly paid. A thousand dollars is
the largest salary received by any
postofiice employee in this city and any
man who has intelligence enough to
discharge the duties of Postoffice
clerk can now obtain a position in this
city at a much larger salary and the
work will not be half so arduous.
The people here are loud
in their clamors for relief
in this direction. There has been no
let up in the amount of mail matter
received and forwarded and it is now
larger than it was during the last win
ter. What the volume of postOtfice
business will be during the coming
fall and winter season, is hard to cal
culate, but it is safe to say that it will
take at least double the present force
to handle it. This is matter that
should be attended to at once and
every pressure should be brought to
bear upon the Department in order
that relief can be given the Office here.
Last year Mr.. Green was compelled
to pay out of his own pocket $213 for
gas used in lighting the office.
MIR. Preuss is now awaiting the ar
rival of his commission from Wash
ington. He has already been notified
that his bond is approved and ac-
cepted.
There have been some changes in
the working force of the postoffice
lately. Mr.. w. S. Marchant, the gen.
tlemanly money order clerk, who has
occupied that position for several years
has resigned and Mr.. Il. N. Wood has
been appointed. Last year Mr.. Mar
chant handled 81 100000, and Mr..
Wood will have lots more to handle
this year. Mrs. Nellie A. Meiggs
takes the place of Miss McLain as for
warding clerk, and Miss McLain is
promoted to general delivery clerk.
w. Ii. McGill, box clerk, has resigned
and j. L. Coplin, formerly general de-
livery clerk, has been promoted to
that position.

A Review of the Days Transac-

NEW YORK, July 20.-The excessive dull
ness which has prevailed for the past few
days underwent no diminution to-day, but
on the contrary the transactions were the
smallest of the week. There was firm
tone to speculation which, however, was
nothing more than the natural reaction from
yesterdays decline. A raid was organized
late in the day which brought prices down
to yesterdays figures generally, but the re-
action was sharp and decided The entire
active list is higher, though advances are
for fractions only, except Louisville, which
is up 1h per cent, and New York Central

SWEET LIVES

"Ah lovely souls like those we've known,
Whose lives one sweet endeavor,
All crowned with beauty and with bloom,
The hand of death did sever;
Their memory, like the new mown hay,
viii linger round us ever"
In " Annals of Quiet Neighborhood "
there is this gem: " SO, for my part"
said to myself as l walked home, "if L
car put one touch of rosy sunset into
the life of any man or woman of care L
shall feel that / have walked with God"
Walking with God! What strength
ening, comforting, beautiful thoughtl
God by our side, helping us, guiding us,
leading us safely, whether the way be
smooth or rough. We cannot, perhaps,
be like the mountains, grand, stately,
magnificent, seen from 'afar and admired
by the multitude, but We can be like the
grassy dell, beautiful with sunshine and
refreshment, fragrant with sweet flowers,
and jubilant with the songs Of birds.

given in a gentle, unobtrusiye way, is a

when obstacles and trials seem
Like prison walls to be;
do the little can do,
And leave the rest to Thee"
The fugitives had at last broken up their
encampment and we're marching slowly to-
ward the Red Sea, which they designed to
reach in the afternoon, at the ebb tide. The
murmur of the waves on the beach was al
ready heard when the clouds of dust on the
horizon behind told them that they were
pursued. The terror seized the host once
more at the sight, and fierce accusations of
Moses were mingled with loud despair of
escape. But the Great Leader, ever calm in
the presence of danger, kept the alarm from
degenerating into ruinous panic. JEHOVAH
will fight for you,' said he 10 the terrified
crowd, ''and We shall be still words which
shone out on the despairing multitudes, :.
like the sun rising in calm majesty on the

The PURsUIT.

Some time was occupied in making the
journey from Rameses to the Red Sea; three
days at least, it may have been much longer.
Several days may have been spent at Sue
Goth in organizing and preparing for the
journey. The Egyptians would ordinarily
have been engaged in funeral ceremonies for
their dead at least three days, perhaps sew
enty. But whether the time were longer or
shorter, the king appears to have regretted
that he had given his command for the lsra-
elites to Ego forth from among his people"
He may have understood his permission to
grant only three days journey in the will
derness to worship JEHOVAH, as Moses had at
first requested, and when they did not return
he was disappointed and regretful if not an
CRY. They were too valuable subjects to
lose from his kingdom entirely. Perceiving
that they had permanently fled the country,
he determined to pursue them with a mount
ed army. His army of chariots and horse
men overlook the Israelites when they were
encamped by the shoals at the head of the
sea, where, it may be, they expected to cross
at the ebb tide. The appearance of the
Egyptian army carried dismay to the hearts
OF the lSrael1te5. 10 ali nuIudu appearances
their situation was indeed dangerous. The
sea was before them on the east; on either
side were mountains, and behind them was a
powerful army. Their destruction seemed
inevitable. They "cried unto JEHOVAH" but
it is evident they were faithless and in de-
spair. In the language of bitter sarcasm
they murmured against Moses, and charged
him with bringing them out against their
wishes and protests, saying that they would
rather be slaves in Egypt than die in the will
derness. Moses calmly met their unbeliet
and fear with the energy of strong faith and
promised them such help from Con that
they would never see again the Egyptians
whom they had seen to fear that day. The
IsraeIites we're commanded to go forward to-
ward the sea, with the assurance that they
should pass through on dry ground. 1t may
be inferred that the Israelites had already
broken up their eneampment to move to
the sea to the place of fording, when the
Egyptians appeared. Their faithful leader
urged them forward, trusting in GOD, who
inspired his heart and who had already
shown him so many tokens of His presence

THOUGHTS ~ THE WAY.
BY the Late Henry Ward Beecher.

Religion is a very small, lean, gaunt, poor,
ill-fed thing as it is ordinarily conceived of
in this world.
Men sit around tool chest quarreling
about saws and planes and chisels. They
are not building anything--they are debating
about tools. They are fit to be a theological
seminary.
That kind of revival preaching which seeks
to drive men into heaven by the fear of hell
is not Christianity; it is the worst form of
paganism.
Sects are candlesticks, and man or wo-
man that is big enough to be good for any
thing is too large for any sect.
Why is it that men think it incumbent upon
them to be cats and dogs in religion and gen.
tlemen in everything outside of it?
l esteem the awfulness that is attached to
Sunday and church and pulpit the greatest
mistake of Christendom.
The prevalent idea of keeping the Sabbath
is that it is a day on which certain things
must not be done. To the majority of peo-
pie Sunday is day full of nots.
am in favor of any movement that helps
anybody to appreciate Sunday as a day of
rest, of health and pure pleasures, and that
will gently lead men, women and children
from the things of low estate up to the higher.
To one who is living Alright no death can
be sudden, and no place unfayorable. One
step, and all roads meet
Dying is the best part of life to one who
knows how to live worthily.
If the life that has gone out has been like
music, full OF concords, full of sweetness,
richness, delicacy, truth, then there are two
ways to look at it. One is to say, 81 have
not lost it" Another is to say, BLESSED be
God that have had it SO longi"
say when a person becomes Christian
that he loses nothing that he should not be
afraid to keep. If ever you are going to be
a Christian don't set out to be a gloomy
eyed, twilight faced, bat like Christian.

In 4Iemurtam.

Sunday, May l, 1887, at Nilestown, On
tario. in the tbirty-fourth year of his age,
Edwin, son of John and Permealy Hart.
Long and painful had been his illness, and
death came as a relief to his tired soul. He
uttered no word of complaint during his
protracted illness, but calmly and patiently
awaited the transition. All that human aid
could do toward alleviating his suffering was
cheerfully administered, so that his dying
couch was made soft as downy pillows are.

training which rapidly uplifts lives
Those are sweet lives which seek to re-
move obstructing thorns from another's
rough path, and there is never thorn
removed from the path without rose
being scattered on ones own. Mild for
bearance in regard to other peoples
faults is necessity to every sweet life
the suppression of unkind words another
necessity.
The sunshine of such lives brightens
darkened homes, warns chilled hearts,
and Eliminates cropping souls. 1t even
seems to have the power of opening
sightless eyes. Indeed, the power of
such lives is wonderful. They point out
the right path to the hayward feet, and
beckon homeward the lost. They hold
cups of water to parched lips, and offer
the bread of life to human souls. They
scatter good seed with generous and
never firing hand. What a harvest of
golden sheaves will be theirsl- &c Christian
